That flag is so much cooler than the maple leaf

Too bad it was co-opted by a bunch of White supremacist shitheads.
Edit: I agree that it’s cooler but my point stands. I also own a certain Fred Perry shirt that was co-opted by the proud boys so that sucks.

Well considering I work for the government I’d prefer not to appear to be affiliated with a fringe group that is motivated by hate.
I also never said the Red Ensign has no value to me, I only lamented that it’s unfortunate that it’s being co-opted.
Pretty cringe that you jumped to conclusions so quickly.

Every Canadian prime minister up until Lester Pearson was a white nationalist as were the overwhelming majority of Canadians. The Red Ensign is a white nationalist flag in the truest sense and it represents the founding stock on the coat of arms.
Edit: before any mods or anyone else gets mad; nothing I said in this comment is factually untrue.

I am well aware.
It also was the flag flown by the Canadian Expeditionary Force during WWI and is still flown at some memorials alongside the Maple Leaf flag, which I’d say has much more valuable historical significance.

Love the display, and always bonus point for that maple syrup! It really accentuate the rifles and it's milsurp look for some reason.

Would have got one a while back. But .303 is problematic when it comes to reloading
